I should buy a scanner so I could put on line the picture of Dennies  
Fred Cramer and his trombone at the dedication of the East Site  
Loop.   Some day I might just do that.

We really do need a rogues gallery of all of us.

We could start with the picture of Fred 3 with the Press Pass hanging  
on him standing in front of the Alabama State Capitol during the  
civil rights march two weeks ago.   That would make a few people  
wonder....  Fred 3 did get a great portrait of a frowning Hillary  
Clinton and a lot of nice pictures of a smiling Barrack Obama in  
Selma.   Bill was too far away ... cut of half cut off picture of him  
in the march across the Petus Bridge in Selma.
